Apple’s repair costs fall most on record with the iPhone 15 series. Apple’s toughened Ceramic Shield glass has been protecting its handset displays since the iPhone 12 series.
The so-called”Shield” is just a fancy naming for a substrate that is more resistant to drops and scratches than what we have on, say, the iPhone 11. Apple says it is up to 4x more drop-resistant, and subsequent drop tests proved that it is, indeed, tougher to break.
Apple has now added a new titanium frame and designed the iPhone 15 Pro line that the back glass can be replaced independently. Previously, repair shops had to strip the iPhone components down to its shell to replace nearly the whole body of the phone when the glass back got cracked, or use special lasers to peel off the covering.
In any case, the new frame design lowers the back panel replacement price by the whopping 65%, from $549 to just $199 on the iPhone 15 Pro Max as you can see from the comparison table below. One will no longer have to pay for a simple cracked iPhone back more than for its OLED screen replacement, hooray! headtopics.com
